Pierre + Charlotte, A Melbourne Design Duo

Romance as business: Pierre, a Parisian, met Charlotte, an Australian, in Tokyo when they were teenagers. After living in Paris (where he played in a rock band and she worked in film), they moved to Melbourne and started their bespoke furniture company. The couple’s influences range from Japan to Scandinavia and France; to see the full line, go to Pierre + Charlotte, or if you’re in Melbourne, visit their showroom at 15 Purcell Street.

Above: On a trip to Japan, the couple met a master dyer in Kyoto who uses a natural fermentation process to dye cotton with indigo. Their indigo wall sconce (shown above) makes use of his fabric wrapped on a steel frame (it’s also available in white linen).
